I enjoy books, perfumes, stories, images, bits of folklore, and all the sensual pleasures of life. I am fond of fog, gardens in the rain, old houses, incense, gregorian chants, tarot cards, any body of water, lavender lattes. I like any kind of media that transports me to a different world and leaving me feeling inspired, melancholy, great swooping joy or introspective tranquility, or all of the above.
Taurus sun, Cancer moon, and Scorpio rising: earth beneath the feet, an ocean beneath the ribs, and a locked door at the entrance -- a select few hold the keys.
A silver tray of favorite things, carefully arranged.
Books finished, books loved, and books to be read.

Stories about longing, transformation, and returning home.
Of all mythical creatures, I relate most strongly to the selkie: a being divided between land and sea, domesticity and wildness, intimacy and escape. Selkie stories are about identity, stolen freedom, homesickness, love, transformation, and the parts of ourselves that cannot remain hidden forever.
part folklore archive, part diary, and part collection of objects that make you feel close to the sea.
Fragments that do not belong anywhere else.
